Note: So the whole Elliot situation thing may not be completely accurate. I am not in any way a doctor, and I do not know that much about Bipolar Disorder… I know basically as much as an average person would. So, if the facts are complete bull, feel free to tell me, but I already know that it may not be… just go with it.

I really do love reviews. :) Oh yeah, I'm going away on Saturday, so hopefully I will update all of my stories on Friday night, and I will definitely have new chapters when I get back the following week.

Casey squeezed her eyes shut tight and let out a huge breath as she leaned against the wall outside her boss' office. She stood there and counted to twenty, convincing herself to go in after that. Before she even reached twenty, however, a booming voice interrupted her.

"Casey, are you going to come in or just lean against my window?" Branch called from inside. She sighed as she turned around and realized she was leaning right in front of the window, and of course she was the only ADA with bright red hair.

"I'm sorry, sir… are you busy?" Casey asked softly as she entered his office and took a seat in front of his desk. He shook his head, but had a completely confused look on his face.

"What's going on?" he finally asked.

"I want to transfer," she said as strongly as she could. He looked at her blankly.

"You want a what?"

"A transfer, sir." Casey responded. He continued staring at her, just making her even more uncomfortable.

"Why on earth would you want that? You're doing great in SVU," he insisted. She smiled weakly at the compliment.

"Can I please?" she asked again.

"Why do you want to transfer, Casey?" he asked again. She shrugged.

"Please, at least consider it." Casey said as she stood up and walked out of the room.

Olivia sighed as she approached Casey's office, only to find that it was empty. Munch and Fin had told her what had happened the night before, and she couldn't figure out why neither Casey nor Elliot had called her. Elliot had an appointment that day and he hadn't been into work yet.

"Liv?" she heard a quiet voice ask from behind her. She whisked around to face Casey, who looked like she'd been crying.

"What's wrong, baby?" she asked as she reached out to pull Casey in a hug. Casey shrugged away from Olivia.

"What? Nothing is wrong…" Casey defended. Olivia just nodded and kept the space between them.

"I heard what happened," she informed her. Casey just nodded and pushed past her into her office.

"You didn't tell me," she continued. Casey shrugged and kept her back to her.

"Talk to me, Casey!" she demanded as she grabbed her shoulders and spun her around so she was facing her with tears welling in her eyes.

"Hey, talk to me," Olivia soothed as she gently wiped away Casey's tears. Casey shook her head and pulled away again, but Olivia grabbed her hand and pulled her back.

"Elliot is your best friend," she whispered, so quietly that Olivia could barely hear her.

"And so are you," she reminded Casey, who stared at her blankly with a doubtful expression. "Casey, just because Elliot has been one of my best friends for years doesn't mean that you aren't." Olivia insisted for what felt like the hundredth time.

"I don't want to talk about this, Liv." Casey whispered as she pulled away and returned to her desk as she aimlessly sifted through her piles of paperwork. Olivia tried countless more times to make her talk, but she eventually realized the hopelessness of the situation and just walked out.

"Mr. Branch?" Captain Cragen asked as he responded to the knock on the door.

"Cragen," Arthur Branch nodded as she followed the captain into his office and took a seat.

"I wanted to talk to you about Casey. She came in asking for a transfer today. Now she's been working in SVU with no problems for quite some time now… is everything going okay?"

"Casey asked for a transfer?" Cragen asked in shock. Branch just nodded.

"She had an altercation with Detective Stabler, but that was a quite a while ago. I don't know what's going on, but you can't transfer her, sir. She's an important member of our squad; we can't afford to lose her." Cragen explained.

"Do you want to meet with her, or shall I? Or perhaps both of us?" Branch asked.

"Let me talk to her. Thank you," Cragen said as he led Arthur Branch out of his office. Olivia looked up in confusion as she noticed Casey's boss walking out, since there was no reason that Arthur Branch would be there unless it involved Casey.

"What's going on?" she asked Cragen quietly as he approached her desk. Cragen shrugged, but watched Branch leave in disbelief.

"Novak wants a transfer…"

"How are you doing today, Elliot?" Huang asked him as he sunk down on the couch in the doctor's office. He shrugged and sighed deeply.

"Elliot, I want to run something by you, okay?" Huang asked him. Elliot nodded in annoyance and didn't say a word.

"Do you know what Bipolar Disorder is?" he asked him. Elliot nodded and rolled his eyes. "I want to try starting you on some meds. I want to do some more to confirm it, but from what I have gathered, it seems as though you may be Bipolar." Doctor Huang explained.

"How do you know?' Elliot asked.

"Unfortunately there aren't medical tests to diagnose it, but I would need to look into your medical and family history, and then you would need a physical exam to rule out any other possibilities. I don't think this is your nature, Elliot. As soon as we know for sure we can start you on medication. You should continue to see a psychiatrist, but things should get a lot easier for you."

"So it wasn't my fault… I knew it." Elliot said. Huang shrugged.

"Elliot, what you did was still just as wrong, this just explains why you did it." Huang argued. Elliot rolled his eyes.

"Thank you, doctor. Let me know for sure when you know," Elliot said as he stood up and raced out of the office to find Casey.

Another tear rolled down her pale cheeks as she pulled the throw pillow closer to her body. She couldn't believe that she had broken it off with Elliot. She kept on trying to convince herself that she hated Elliot and that she needed to do what she did, but for some reason she couldn't just forget about him and let it go.

"Shit," she exclaimed as her thoughts were interrupted by an insistent knocking on the other side of her office door. She hurriedly wiped her tears as she threw the pillow back down on the couch. She rushed to make herself presentable before she cautiously made her way to the door to let the visitor in.

She had just opened the door when Elliot barged in. She immediately froze in her place as her blood ran cold through her veins. She tried to turn to face him, but she was paralyzed with a fear she didn't even realize she had for him.

"Casey, I just talked to Huang…" Elliot exclaimed as he walked toward her. She jumped as he approached and shook her head.

"Why are you here?" she asked quietly, regardless of the fact that she tried to keep her voice steady and strong.

"Casey, Huang said that I'm bipolar. Do you know what that means? He can give me meds and I'll be me again… I wasn't me when I hurt you, Case, we can get back together!" he exclaimed. Casey stared at him in disbelief.

"Elliot, that's serious; how are you excited about being Bipolar? And who said that you get to decide that we get together?" Casey insisted. Elliot stopped dead in his tracks and stared at her.

"Casey, it wasn't my fault." Elliot insisted again. She shook her head and walked back over to her door to direct him out.

"I'm sorry, Elliot." Casey said softly as she led him out of her office.

Okay, sorry for sucking… I really wanted to get an update up. Please review. :)

Sorry for being terrible at proofreading lately… I know it's really annoying, but I will when I have more time.
